Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) implantation targeting the anteromedial region of subthalamic nucleus (amSTN), or nucleus accumbens (NAc), or bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST), or ventral capsule/ventral striatum (VC/VS), or the ventral anterior limb of the internal capsule (vALIC) in patients with treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (TR-OCD).
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new type of pacemaker in heart failure patients following a heart bypass operation. The new pacemaker restores respiratory sinus arrhythmia which is a natural pattern where the heart rate increases when the participants breathe in and slows down when participants breathe out. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: - Is the new type of pacemaker safe? - Does the new type of pacemaker improve how patients' hearts work (also known as cardiac output)? Participants will have a range of tests before their operation and during their recovery in hospital while participants have the new type of pacemaker in place, and will be monitored very closely. Participants will also receive a phone call 1 month after their surgery. Researchers will compare the new type of heart pacing against standard treatment to see if it is as safe, and if it is any better for patients.
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can lead to devastating outcomes for patients, like cognitive decline. This is caused by early brain injury (EBI) followed by delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). Neuroinflammation, triggered by the complement system, has been investigated to be a key mediator in the pathophysiology of EBI and DCI. Inhibition of the complement system is therefore considered to be a potentially important new treatment for SAH. This trial aims to study the safety and efficacy of C1-inhibitor Cinryze, an approved inhibitor of the complement system, compared to placebo in patients with SAH. By temporarily blocking the complement system we hypothesize limitation of delayed cerebral ischemia and a more favourable clinical outcome for SAH patients due to a decrease in the inflammatory response.
About 10-20% of all individuals with breast cancer have a so-called triple-negative tumor (TNBC). This type of breast cancer has a particularly unfavorable course and a higher mortality rate compared to other forms of breast cancer. Research studies show that it is important for individuals with TNBC to achieve a so-called pathologic complete response (pCR) to treatment. In the phase II study SAKK 66/22, it is being investigated whether the administration of the drug INT230-6 before surgery for breast cancer can increase the rate of pCR in the tumor and affected lymph nodes. The tolerability of INT230-6 as well as other factors such as response to treatment and the possibility of breast-conserving surgery are also being examined.
A prospective, open label, multi-center, single arm, observational study designed to evaluate the acute safety and device performance of the Sapphire 3 0.85, 1.0 and 1.25mm diameter coronary dilatation catheter in predilatation of Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention. One hundred seventy (170) subjects will be enrolled with a target of one hundred fifty-three (153) evaluable subjects by the angiographic core laboratory at up to 15 clinical sites with the Sapphire 3 0.85, 1.0 and 1.25mm diameter PTCA dilatation catheter to pre-dilate CTO lesions in coronary arteries during their index procedure. All subjects will be screened according to the protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be followed through study completion, which is defined as 24-hours post-procedure or hospital discharge, whichever comes first.
In our study, we aimed to detect atelectasis developing in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia using transthoracic lung ultrasonography and to investigate the effect of ventilation methods used during recovery from anesthesia on the formation of postoperative atelectasis.
The goal of this clinical trial is to see if the combination of experimental drug ASTX727 and Nivolumab enhances the antitumor immune response in participants will recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Participants will take a pill called ASTX727 for 4 or 5 days every month followed by an injection of Nivolumab one week after the first dose of study medication.
The study is a multicentric prospective randomised cross-over study. It evaluates the compatibility of patients with the device without altering the routine treatment applied. During this evaluation, either the clinician-adjusted values on the device or the standard pre-set values are used to obtain hourly and 30-minute PVA (Patient Ventilator Asynchrony) recordings. These recordings will be analysed offline to identify the settings used and to compare the hourly and 30-minute PVA (Patient Ventilator Asynchrony) values when synchronisation is automatically set. The relationships and differences between these values will be analysed. For this purpose, the IntelliSync+ option, already available on the device, will be used. This software continuously analyses waveform signals at least a hundred times per second. This allows for the immediate detection of patient efforts and the initiation of inspiration and expiration in real time, thereby replacing traditional trigger settings for inspiration and expiration. If the patient is already synchronised with this option, it will then be possible to switch to traditional synchronisation settings for comparison. Statistical analyses will be conducted using SPSS 24.0, JASP (Just Another Statistical Programme), Jamovi ( fork of JASP), or R software. Initially, all numerical and categorical data will be evaluated using descriptive statistical methods. The distributions of numerical variables will be examined using visual (histograms and probability plots) and analytical methods (Kolmogorov-Smirnov/Shapiro-Wilk tests). Mean/SD (standard deviation) or median/interquartile range (IQR) will be used as measures of distribution. For comparing numerical data that follows a normal distribution, the Student-t test will be used, and for non-normally distributed data, the Mann-Whitney U or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests will be employed. PVA (Patient Ventilator Asynchrony) values will be statistically compared. For the analysis of categorical data, the Chi-Square test will be applied. Bayesian analysis may also be used as necessary during the writing of the study. The results obtained will be interpreted and reported by the researchers. Results with a "p" value below 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
To Analyze the Ability of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography ( OCT-A ) to detect the presence of myopic Choroidal Neovascularization and to describe the structural features of Myopic CNV..
This is an open label, Phase 1b safety, dose-finding, brain tumor delivery, and pharmacokinetics study of intranasal NEO100 in patients with pediatric-type diffuse high grade gliomas. Patients will receive IN NEO100 that will follow a dose titration design, followed by a standard dose escalation design to establish safety. Brain tumor delivery of NEO100 will be confirmed in each disease sub-type by surgical resection/needle biopsy only if clinically indicated and scheduled for clinical purposes and testing with residual tissue for NEO100 and the major metabolite of NEO100 (Perillic Acid).
